Roadside Architecture is one of my life-long passions. When I go off to agility trials on the weekends with my dogs, I try to squeeze in side-trips to check out unusual buildings, mini golfs, muffler men, etc. My traveling range is usually limited to the Northeast but you will find plenty of things included that are outside this area as well.
"KISS is more like Doritos or Pepsi, as far as a brand name is concerned," he said. "They're more characters than the individual person. I think they have a legitimate chance to carry the franchise."

People always ask me, "Why do you give scarves to Keith?" and "Where do you get the scarves that you give to Keith?". So many people have asked that I decided to create a separate page to explain the idea behind the skull scarves.
In the summer of 1997 I bought a black scarf with white skulls on it at a local "world" store (now out of business) called Macondo. I bought the scarf because I thought it was cool and it reminded me of Keith. I wore that scarf to my first show on the Bridges To Babylon Tour in September of 1997 in Columbus, Ohio. I had no intention of giving it to Keith until a security guard broke my camera for taking pictures of Keith. I was so angry, but determined not to let the broken camera ruin my first show of the 97-98 Tour. Then it dawned on me that since the "Bridge" was not yet built, the Stones would be walking right by me on the catwalk. I was 20th row last seat next to the catwalk. This was the closest I had ever been be to the Stones. Maybe I could give Keith this scarf? Not bloody likely as they say, but worth a try.
nellie lutcher - lake charles boogie - this 1952 dittie features ms lutchers rippin good stride piano styin'. this is texas/lousiana swamp roots-rock at its best melding jazz, blues, boogie woogie rock and roll and that velvety thing that only rubs off from hangin' with the king cole trio.
This dedication peaks in Mr. Belott's "Found Images," a DVD presentation of 1,000 snapshots that Mr. Belott retrieved from eBay or the Salvation Army. As fragments of scores of anonymous lives flash before your eyes, you may consider pledging to never pick up the camera again, however great the urge. ROBERTA SMITH
the shelf pieces displayed in the slideshow indicate a rather indiscriminate process in choosing a theme for the photo groupings. bad snapshots arnt interesting or fun. there are on average 35,000 photographic offerings up for grabs on ebay at any given minute day in day out for years now. its easy to buy junk in bulk. the challenge is finding lots of the good stuff before they're broken up for piecemeal sales.

In the 19th century, local craftsmen devised structural techniques that allowed houses to stand securely on the city's pudding-like alluvial soil, and to survive in the region's notoriously humid climate, with its insects, termites and mold. In place of the heavy, water-absorbing brick-between-post construction that had been used earlier, or the brick masonry common on higher ground in the city, they began using light balloon frames, self-reinforcing structures of two-by-four joists that could be raised above ground on brick or stone piers. For these frames they used local cypress wood, which resists both water and rot, and for secondary woods they favored local cedar, which is nearly as weatherproof as cypress, and dense virgin pine.
"We worked very closely to meet the call of the L.M.D.C.," Mr. Bernstein said in an interview. "There was a reason we were picked. This is what they were looking for."gratuitous use of emotion button pushing city names : grand rapids, portland, tallahassee and then bangladesh. (!?) geez, thats cold.
Neither the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation nor Governor Pataki, who was in Shanghai, had seen the report yesterday.
Stefan Pryor, the corporation president, said, "Any judgments that are made prior to the I.F.C.'s submission would be premature."
A leading critic of the museum, Debra Burlingame, whose brother Charles was the pilot of the airliner that crashed into the Pentagon, said there was nothing the International Freedom Center could do to make itself palatable as a tenant at ground zero. "They don't belong there," she said yesterday.
Her criticisms began with the opening gallery. "So the very first experience that the visitors will get when they come from Cedar Rapids, Portland, Ore., and Tallahassee, Fla., was not how we experienced 9/11 but how the people, say, in Bangladesh experienced it?" she asked.
"you cant believe the irony that you may be watching your own demise right on tv. its post modern in a kind of a way"people on jet blue in flight and in their seats watching their air emergency (a landing gear problem) on satellite tv as they passively participate in the emergency on tv are then interviewed afterwards describe watching the emergency and switching back and forth to other shows for distraction. seen live (taped) this am on cnn.
The back of each seat on a JetBlue plane is equipped with a small television set. As passengers watched, live, in-flight broadcasts of MSNBC (see video tape) and Fox News began to show their airplane. Ash glanced at the television of the passenger next to him: "At first I just thought, 'Of course, Fox News,' " he said, discounting the story as sensationalized. "But then it was on MSNBC." People started to worry. "It was so eerie watching ourselves," Ash said. "It was unimaginable…. We heard people speculating about this and that. It was so odd." Somehow, being on the TV news "made it a big deal." Passengers reacted with a range of emotions — some quietly upset and concerned, but most very calm. A few began laughing. Ash joined them. Once he saw the humor of it, the sense wouldn't leave him: "It was just such an absurd situation," he said. But his humor faded as he listened to television commentators talking about the flight.

The Trust is working with Congress to secure federal historic-tax incentives for people who want to rehabilitate their houses. Specifically, Trust staff are working to amend existing incentives to rehab hurricane-damaged historic commercial buildings; develop a new tax-credit program for rehabbing owner-occupied historic houses; and create a two-year, $60 million fund that would offer grants to help save properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places.
